Propagation Strelitzia (Bird of Paradise)

in Houseplants, Plant care, Propagation

When it comes to true jungle plants you should definitely be at the Strelitzia. A striking plant with long stems and beautifully large leaves. When the plant grows larger, the Strelitzia is a real eye-catcher. Taking care of the plant is not difficult, which makes it even more fun.

Supplies

  • Strelitzia Nicolai or Strelitzia Reginae
  • Knife
  • Disinfectant
  • An old towel
  • Flower pot with fresh potting soil
  • Optional: plant rooting powder

Step-by-step plan for the propagation of a Strelitzia (Bird of Paradise)

  1. The propagation of the Strelitzia can be done without tools. Although we do find it useful to keep a knife at hand.
  2. Clean the knife beforehand with pure alcohol or disinfectant. It is therefore better to be safe than sorry.
  3. Put down an old towel beforehand.
  4. Then take the mother plant out of its pot.
  5. Remove as much soil around the plant and roots as possible. A handy tip is to shake the plant back and forth. This will release a lot of soil, without you having to make a lot of effort.
  6. If the soil still won’t let go, you can leave the roots under a running tap.
  7. Then put the roots of the Strelitzia on the old towel.
  8. Think in advance about how many cuttings you would like to divide the Strelitzia.
  9. Tear the Strelitzia from top to bottom into the desired number of cuttings. Make sure that each part has its own roots.
  10. Isn’t it easy to tear off? Then you can grab the knife. Then cut the Strelitzia into several cuttings with their own roots.
  11. Do you have rooting powder at home? Apply the rooting powder to the wound of the cuttings and the mother plant. Let the powder dry well.
  12. If you don’t have rooting powder, that’s okay. Although the rooting powder can ensure that the cutting is restored faster and that root growth is developed faster.
  13. Then put the cutting(s) in a flower pot with fresh soil. During the first period, water a little more than usual. Water can speed up root growth. Make sure you don’t water too much.
  14. After about one month you can start adjusting the watering to the same schedule as the mother plant.
